Cool but PC only, or on all platforms?

 

[ZehDon]

Not too bad considering it's launching on Game Pass as well.

Really, it's on Game Pass? Awesome, gonna have to try it out then.

 

[skit_data]

Good to hear it's selling well despite being on both PS+ and Gamepass

 

[acm2000]

Tried it for about 10 minutes on gamepass, incredibly pretty pixel art and animations but I just can't stand these sort of RPGs.

Any fans of jrpgs should definitely try it tho.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Cool but PC only, or on all platforms?

All platforms, but the majority of sales are probably from Steam and Switch since the game launched day 1 on both PS+ Extra and Game Pass.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Great game so far, well-deserved. Really
Enjoying it

 

[Alan Wake]

Not a game for me but always happy when apparently good games do well. Congrats!

 

[Moonjt9]

I'm playing it on ps extra, but you can be damn sure I'll be buying that physical switch edition next year.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Waiting for the physical edition but I wanna play it so bad right now. Probably firing it up after I'm done with Blasphemous 2, since it's on Game Pass.

 

[dreamstation]

I'd like to support the developer with a purchase but it's hard to want to spend $53 AUD for this and another $40 AUD for Moving Out 2 when I can get 3 years of extra for not much more than that. And there are other games on there that I want to play too. Well done to them though!

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Just to put things into context, this is a 2D pixel art RPG that also launched on subscription services.
If I'm not missing something, this sounds like a very big achievement.

and PS ++

You are correct. It's a great milestone, especially for literally one days worth of sales

 

[Interfectum]

Doing pretty good on Steam considering it's 'free' on two platforms.

 

[adamsapple]

Fantastic, will pick up physically when it comes out next year.

 

[Metnut]

Linear JRPGs are king. Long live FF16 and Sea of Stars. Down with open world bloat.

 

[akaFullmetal]

That's decent since it is a available on ps plus extra and gamepass.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Same here, perfect for the Deck

 

[Draugoth]

Might grab this on a promotion

 

[graywolf323]

I did my part, bought a copy on Steam for my Deck even though I have GamePass and PS+ (I did download it from the latter to likely do a trophy run at some point as well though)

[ssringo]

Did my part. Gotta wait until I finish my Parasite Eve playthrough but it's on deck to be my Deck game.

 

[StueyDuck]

i haven't played it yet, but i was there day 1...

chrono trigger being one of my top all time RPG's, how could i not support this.

 

[wipeout364]

I am kind of waiting for some people to play through and see if it's worth my time. I have so many RPG's in my backlog I hesitate to get it or even start it if it's just going to be mediocre. Looks pretty nice graphically for pixel art though.

Armored Core and Starfield already ate my gaming budget this month

 

[Ashler]

Looking amazing on my Switch OLED.

 

[Negotiator101]

Not too bad considering it's launching on Game Pass as well.

And PS Plus, this is fab for the developer. They've already had a nice payout and selling really well, word of mouth will continue to sell this as its a great game.

 

[graywolf323]

the sale lasts until September 4th

 

[PropellerEar]

Looking amazing on my Switch OLED.

Looks amazing on 77" LG OLED too

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Looking amazing on my Switch OLED.

Yeah, I feel that it's the perfect advert for the Switch OLED. I'll be grabbing it for my Switch OLED as soon as they drop the physical version early next year.

 

[Dr_Ifto]

Same, loving it so far.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Isn't it on PC Gamepass?

 

[Holammer]

 

[Shifty1897]

Between PS+ and GamePass money, I have to assume every copy sold is raw profit, good for them! I'll be picking up a copy as soon as work calms the fuck down, maybe this weekend.

 

[Trogdor1123]

I'm installing it tonight when I can plug the ps5 back in.

Pretty excited for it

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

I'm liking the game a lot but the cutscenes are so low quality. I don't understand why they decided to add those

 

[Plies]

It's good to see .

 

[Brock2621]

Waiting for physical

 

[KungFucius]

Should I add it to my PC gamepass backlog or my PS+ backlog? Probably PS to make that less of a waste.

 

[Little Mac]

I played it on gamepass and really like it. I'm thinking about getting a switch and buying it for that. Waiting to see how good Starfield is first.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Holding out hope for GOG release in the coming months, but happy to hear it is well received.

 

[Del_X]

So something like $3.5M revenue and probably about $2M in their pocket after stores and whatever taxes. Pretty good for a small studio.

 

[ungalo]

I liked The Messenger but this one is boring so far unfortunately. I hope it's going to change.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Sign me up for a physical copy next year.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

And this is just from day 1 sales. They also probably received some nice €€€ for putting their game on Game Pass and PS+ Extra.

How far in are you? The beginning is super slow but once you get through the tutorial it improves a lot.

I played something like 9 hours. It was getting better at some point but now i'm getting really bored again. Visuals and music are cool though.

The story is about to pick up. If it's the gameplay boring you, you get a new party member and ability soon that will open things up a bit.
